A well-known foreman of large New York
newspaper composing room-although austere
inside the Office and favoring nobody, and a de-
cidedlv good fellow outsde-was very fond of n
quiet joke which usually partook of a rather
practical nature. Some years ago chapel
meeting was held on the question of having too
many compositors on the paper, and a commit
tee of Six was appointed to wait upon the fore
man and try to get him to consent to reduce che
force. gentleman who is still well know
among New York printers was chosen chair

his associates waited upon the '.old man" and
stated the case. saying that if the force were re-

"How many too many men do you think are
on the paper?"

Women In Literature.

Col. Higginson, in Harper's Bazaar
remember how great was the longing amons
intelligent women. thirty forty years ago. to
do greater share of the literary work of the
nation. A few ventured forth timidly from the
kitchen to do it perhaps bringing with them in
their hands a new cookery book, like Mrs.
Chids and Miss Leslie, propitiate the other
and prove that they had in manner
worked their passage into freedom Now they
still bring the cookery book. like Marion Har-
land, who has indeed brought 100 900 copies Of
hers, but it Is no longer needed apology.
Mrs. Woods points out that there are about
$3.50 women engaged in literary work in or near
Boston, including, doubt. all grades of jour
naism; that out of 1913 authors on the publishing
list of Roberts Brothers n women; that there
are the naIaes of 50 women on Ticknors list. so
on Houghtons and so on that of the Methodist
Book Concern. The demand for literary ex-
preston being thus in part satiatsd. it is the
most natural thing in the world that there should
be demand for action well as literature, and
that the pressure for executive and public duties
on the part of women should only he increased
by the fact that they have already free in
the field of mere literary expression. Granted
pursuit, there is still needed some other pursuit.

A MOUNTAIN OF SUGAR.
What 1t Costs Every Year to Keep American
Society from Turning Sour.

New York sun.
Americans ought to be the sweetest people on
earth if, has been asserted. food goes 60 max
the race. Perhaps they when not electing
President discussing fisheries. The
quantity of sweets landed this port

not given the subject special attention. 1t
would appear that Americans preserved in
sugar afoat on rivers of saccharine From West
Indies black stran to golden syrup from dain ~
lady fingers to solid pound cake. from molasses
candy to the most delicious bonbons. Americans
beat all other peoples as absorbers of saccharine
the French not excepted. No adequate idea OF
the enormous quantity of sugar consumed in
this country can be conveyed by statement in
pounds. The figures, however, indicate that
Uncle Sam has a tremendous sweet tooth.
The total sugar importations for the year 1886
amounted to 2.498. 1872, 600 pounds. about
100000 tons. valued at 81 GOA Cos. To his
tremendous aggregate, Cuba alone contribu ted

imported from the West Indies and other
countries. To the aggregate of imports must be
added the domestic product to lind the total
consumption of sugar In the United States.
The best imported sugar is the centrifugal, Ia

instance of the condensation of business methods
whereby the same results are obtained by fewer
workers Formerly the great bulk of sugar was
stored in the warehouses and Withdrawn by re-

employment to great number of coopers and
laborers. Now the bulk of it goes direct TO the

Every calamity on the rail that is IN

guarded wooden bridges that may Al any

many years ago in which many people
were injured by ire, simply because there
were no axes TO cut open the derailed

II is safe, therefore, to generalize the
results of railroad accidents - owing to
the negligence of men, and not to una
yodabe circumstances.
The exceptions are rare, and to them
no law of punishment need apply.
We refer to the established and ac-
knowledged system Of neglect and care

the requisite number Of hands, lack OF
proper inspection OF tracks, and lack Of
proper appliances and failure to enforce
rigid discipline among the men en-
